I'm glad that Randle played very amped up for todays game vs Gordon. Outplayed him in very aspect today. Russell and Clarkson also looking good together with this team, very very solid game once again from us. This "set" should have been there earlier in the season, but Byron is trying to save his job, so he's running it. Working out well so far for our youth, as it's a system that's built around Russell and thus they all get to benefit. Good game from us once again.

There is a wide range of opinions about Randle on this board but personally I appreciate having him over some of the other players selected above him in the 2014 draft. Would ppl really prefer Embiid, Gordon, Exum, Smart? Not trying to knock those players but IMO we got a top 3 talent with the 7th pick and that ain't too shabby.

I've seen some good coaching these last two games.
I'm also seeing Russell trying to sneakily jump into the ROY debate to finish the season off. The NBA rookie ladder still has him all the way up #7. I hope he can be in the top 3 to finish the season off.

Praying for 1. Some Cohesion (Ill fitting parts with young bucks, new guys, and those playing for next contracts may muck things up all season) 2. Better Coaching, No More Tanking (Last season was more of the latter but not sure how much of the former we can count on. Walton with something to prove this season as much as any Laker player) 3. Rookie Watch (Hoping Lonzo outshines his daddy (ROTY??), and Kuzma finds minutes and makes a push for all rook 2nd team).
